Campaign spending reports reveal candidate ties

On the eve of Maui’s Primary Election, most registered voters have a pretty good idea who they will choose at the polls on Saturday. Those choices may be based upon familiarity, past performance records of incumbents, stances on key issues, how effective a candidate’s campaign has been, or even more trivial reasons such as one’s ethnic background, age or the colors of their campaign signs.

“A shell crashed ashore. In the dun-colored houses along Kahului’s waterfront, stevedores and their women heard the gun again, like a door slamming, and again the crash of the shell. The Jap fired ten rounds in all. Then the submarine disappeared in the night. Announcing this attack on an undefended, unimportant cane-&-pineapple port, the U.S. Navy reported: no casualties, negligible damage.”

-From “Dusk in Kahului,” Time Magazine, Dec. 28, 1941
